Considering that Trump has killed all sorts of diplomatic relationships, I think it would be better for California and the other blue states to form their own arrangements with other powers, alongside internal ones.
Trump killed NOAA. The weather service that helped all of the states to prepare their crops and disaster management, is now torn to pieces. Our schools are being barred from having students from abroad, which weakens America's abilities to have the best and brightest to join our nation. Tariffs are destroying our supply chains. The courts have become delegitimized, used to entrap people who dared to believe in the justice of law. The wall of flesh in Panama is failing.
...I had plenty of think, thank you very much.
Our enemies have burrowed inside our flesh. If we don't remove them, we are truly screwed.
To be fair I did say Trump was Americas brexit. So I take it back, you’re right. This is scary times for the USA, and the rest of the world will suffer too.
Honestly, it is a situation that has no clear answer. It is very frustrating!
It has no near term answer. Will there be free elections? Will the constitution be restored? Will law and order mean something again? Will sanity be restored?
If there’s any hope left for my fellow Americans, it’s just another year and a half before the nazis and sycophants get voted out. Then two years of non-functioning infighting …. I can dream that sanity happens. Eventually everyone of these thugs acting above the law should be brought to justice. Every one of those cops and ice agents: you know what constitutional rights are, including habeas corpus; you are responsible for obeying illegal orders
Have a think how brake up of Yugoslavia went for Slovenia (the richest YU republic).
That’s ok, we can broker trade deals with Appalachistan for cheap third world labor. They get the hellhole they seem to want and we have a nearby banana republic to exploit. Win-win
More like Indyref.
Not sure what that is? Scotland leaving the union?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Scottish_independence_referendum
Thanks. Just wasn’t sure.
It makes me laugh that the same Brexit morons are against that.
Indyref was broadly supported by the left but brexit was a right wing project. And indyref was pro-EU, which was reflected a few years later when the same voters who wanted to leave UK voted remain in EU.
The concept of leaving a union of nations has no inherent other political implications.
For me it all comes down to whether the Scots can get themselves in to the EU or not. Casting yourself adrift, Brexit style, is foolish.
Iirc Scotland has the blessing of most of the EU to get a fast tracked but with some countries like Spain having the condition that this is only on a legal exit supported by the UK. Indyref itself isn't even anti-UK so much it is not being tied to an increasingly corrupt and self sabotaging government in westminster, if the UK stopped relentlessly shooting itself in the foot the movement would likely lose most of its support.
How are the situations similar? Because of the name?
Leaving your nearest trading partner doesn’t seem like a good thing.
California’s nearest trading partner is China.
But is that organised through a USA trade deal or not?
Despite it. Our governor actually shows up to trade negotiations and sticks to the agreed terms.
With the current Trump tariffs the existing US trade deal is a dysfunction at best.
